Today, the Legislative Yuan held the Education and Culture Committee, and many legislators questioned the recent rampant scalping of Korean tour groups to Taiwan, and suggested corresponding penalties.

(Photographed by reporter Tu Yingru) [Reporter Tu Yingru/Taipei report] Recently, the popularity of Korean tour groups has gone crazy, and a ticket priced at 8,800 yuan was blown up to 23 times the price, and even 400,000 yuan, which led to many fraud incidents In the past, Taiwanese artists also sold scalped tickets for their concerts.

At present, Taiwan’s penalties for scalpers, according to Article 64, paragraph 2, of the Social Order Maintenance Law, if Tuli is caught, he will be sentenced to less than 3 days or criminal detention, or a fine of NT$18,000. Today, many legislators in the Education and Culture Committee of the Legislative Yuan make a suggestion.

Minister of Culture Shi Zhe said that scalpers must have a source of tickets. If the source of tickets is 1-2, it will not constitute lethality. If there is a method of invading through information, buying tickets through robots on the Internet, there is currently no specific legislation Under such circumstances, the civil law is not feasible, and this part must be punished by the criminal law, with a fine of one million yuan under one year, and the support of the police and government agencies can be requested to use criminal law and information security methods to deal with robots, and according to whether the evil deeds are Major, whether to penalize for collective and malicious behavior.

Shi Zhe emphasized that the Ministry of Culture will speed up the revision of the law to curb scalpers. He hopes to prevent the rampant phenomenon of scalpers through deterrents, heavy penalties, and technology. Currently, two major directions are being studied. One is to punish scalpers for writing programs to sweep tickets in large numbers. One is to impose heavy penalties on those who resell tickets with a price increase of more than 10%.

Legislators Wan Meiling and Wu Siyao suggested that the "whistleblower mechanism" and related reward systems could be considered, or a real-name system should be adopted to prevent scalpers from profiting from opportunities, and the concept of buying air tickets would increase the difficulty of transfer.

Legislator Lin Yijin thinks that it is inappropriate to "take more than 10% of the resold tickets to pay heavy fines"; Legislator Lin Yijin compares it to "bully blocking the road". It is unreasonable for bullies to ask people for 1,000 yuan when crossing the road, but asking for 100 yuan Reasonable, questioning the rationality of reselling tickets to obtain 10% profit; Zhang Liaowanjian believes that this is to encourage scalpers to make small profits but sell quickly, suggesting that they should be severely punished to achieve the effect of policy advocacy.

Wu Siyao mentioned that if scalpers have profit-making intentions, they should be fined, not only when they are sold.

She sorted out a number of amendments to the law, such as strengthening investigations and arrests, and asking for cross-ministerial cooperation. In addition to establishing civil whistleblowers, providing rewards for law enforcement, real-name systems, and strengthening communication with industry players, etc.

Since the establishment of a real-name system is a huge project, Wu Siyao suggested that incentives, such as administrative subsidies, be given to the real-name manufacturers to encourage them to establish a real-name system, or they can follow the official ticket exchange platform established by the Ministry of Culture in a transparent, open, reasonable and legitimate way. Carry out ticket resale, and then effectively check and arrest scalpers.
